Joe Cummings

A Paragraphics Master Wood Carver specializing in Gunstocks, Attache Cases, Pistol Grips, Custom Fireplace Mantels and more.

Joe Cummings is our newest Paragraphics Master. Joe specializes in gunstock carving. However, he is a great wood carver in general. Some of his projects include Custom Gunstocks, Pistol Grips, Custom Cabinet Doors, Attache Cases and Custom Fireplace Mantels. Joe goes the extra mile in all his wood carvings. He puts in the tiny details that truly make a fine wood carving. So much detail in fact, you will find more each time you look at one of his carvings.

The Custom Carved Fireplace Mantel above is over 5 feet long and 14 inches wide. To see more CLICK HERE.

Joe has perfected many patterns such as the Basketweave and the Fishscale. He has also designed many of his own custom carving patterns.

Joe also has two instructional DVD's which will teach you every step of the Basketweave and Fishscale Patterns.

 The checkering on most guns today is very poor in comparison to what it used to be. Checkering today is done by machine, whereas it used to be carved by hand; the results are just not as good. Look at some of your guns closely and you will probably feel the same way.  Some of Joe's clients have him take out the checkering and replace it with the basketweave or fishscale pattern and then accent it further with leaves, acorns or even a nice border. This dramatically improves the look of the gun, but it also feels good and improves your grip while shooting.
